Garden 2009: FREESTYLE!

 

A friend was actually going to pay someone to remove roses from her yard. I helped her and scored and beautiful plant!

The economy is on everyone’s mind; from radio, newspapers to conversations buzzing in restaurants. Friends share their worries for the future and their tightened circumstances today. I hate the stress everyone is under and my wish is that people continue to enjoy life. Adjustments are made by many people to meet their financial obligations. Many are learning to make adjustments in all areas of their life so they don’t have to give up the things they love. 

I have always been cheap (so to speak) and I always look for the most cost effective, great deal. Example: My homeowner’s insurance figures the replacement cost of my barn would be about $40k. The funny part is that I didn’t pay a dime for that structure. Through word of mouth, via a farrier, I heard about a barn a wonderful family was giving away. The catch? The new owner would have to take it down, board by board and reassemble. I’m not going to go into all the details of THAT adventure in this post. However, it was done with a lot of blood and sweat to improve our home, save us stabling expenses and make our dream of having a great horse property come true. I have to admit, we spent about $2k on screws, concrete, gas, etc. Still, it was quite a deal!

There are deals everywhere; one just has to look. And be persistent, of course. Spring is getting closer so I search Reno Craigslist free section to see what is available for the garden. In 5 minutes, I found manure, dirt and wood chips. Did I mention these are free garden supplies? It doesn’t get better than that. Time and fuel are the costs. While I was there, I emailed a few listings to friends too. Might as well help as many people as we can!

 

Most of these plants were free...

The majority of plants in my garden were free. Since I moved to the high mountain desert from a completely different climate, I had no idea what would grow. I killed so many poor plants through ignorance. But as I met other gardeners, they were kind enough to share their wisdom and plants. I especially appreciated that after all the work that went into preparing the ground, I had something to grow there! Never be afraid to ask for advice or show interest in someone else’s gardens. You never know what you might get in return! 

Yes, the economy is up in the air right now. We aren’t sure where it is headed. The economy is definitely affecting some more than others and everyone is paying attention to their money. That doesn’t mean we have to stop improving our homes and quit enjoying the outdoors. It just means we may have to work a little harder and a little smarter!

Geocache Out the Back Door

I was looking up geocache locations to see if more had been added to our mountain neighborhood. A couple of years ago, there weren’t many. Now? I’m thrilled I can walk out the back door and go searching! The closest to my house is only 3/4 mile away. Closer if I cut across the BLM land adjoining my back garden!

 

If you are not familiar, GeoCache is a network of hidden treasure that you find using clues and a GPS. You can get a free account at GeoCache and start searching your area. Then you return to the site and tell others about your hunt. This activity is enjoyed by people all over the world.

 

In my opinion, this is the ultimate combination of technology and nature. Our family goes geocaching when we go camping all the time. Most of the caches we find in the desert are in old ammo boxes and usually contain a camera, logbook and various types of treasure. Our kids love to fill out the logbook and trade out the ‘treasure’.

 

If you haven’t heard of GeoCaching, logon and see what you have around you. If you plan to travel, this is a great adventure to add to your trip!

Winter Fun at Lake Tahoe

Renting a Machine is Easy

 

It’s Friday and with the snow Northern Nevada has had this week, it is time to sneak up to Lake Tahoe!

Living in the Virginia City Highlands has many benefits. The best one definitely has to be our close proximity to so many things to do. A drive to Lake Tahoe is only about 45 minutes. The road from our neighborhood leads straight to the Lake! Getting a family outing takes very little planning. Lake Tahoe provides excellent dining and shopping but the best part is the year round outdoor recreation available for everyone.

I hear it looks good for snowmobiling this weekend so I think that is where we’re headed. We do not own machines since we would not use them enough to justify the cost. Not to mention, we have enough to maintain already. All we have to do is get dressed and show up at a rental shop, and off we go. Personally, I’ve never been snowmobiling before so this should be quite the experience!
